Addressing Invites (Poll)

Posted by bumbumgirl

I saved my sister over a $100 by telling her that I would do them for her....I am either going to print labels or print directly on the envelopes.

For those who don't want to do it themselves, my sister sent me this link yesterday....

http://inkspun.com/index.htm

39cents per envelope....instead of the $1 or more 'calligraphers' charge. The one my sister received a quote from wasn't all that great anyway...it was very shaky looking and not worth the money.

I was going to suggest inkspun.com...I haven't used them, but have read a lot of reviews about them on LIW. If you give yourself enough time, you should have a good experience.

i had saved this site - you should check it out.

We did computer calligraphy I guess, but we did it ourselves. We printed directly on the envelopes, not on labels. We used the font Brock Script from dafont.com (downloaded free). HTH!

I am printing directly on the envelopes myself too using basically the same color as our return address. I am using a block font for all but the last name in Scriptina....Love the way it looks. Some with multiple names i had to do all in a script different font :*( but it still looked nice.

Can one of the girls who got hand calligraphy FM me with pricing and turnaround time?

I'm not getting my invites until end of August, so I'm nervous I won't have enough time anyway

My person did them in a week. I think the key is to just book whoever you want to use in advance as they schedule all their work by the job. You can get calligraphy from many different people in a wide range of prices. I have seen some on here which are truly beautiful for as little as $1.00 per envelope. So worth it IMO!!
